Spa Blue Mountain Treat yourself to the ultimate
adult spa escape. Le Scandinave overlooking the 20-hectares of forest, outdoor baths and countryside. Although it would be easy to imagine this was Finland or Russia, Le Scandinave Spa is a $6.5 million facility located 2 hours north of Toronto 2.5 km from the Blue Mountain Ski Resort which is just outside the town of Collingwood, on the southern shore of Georgian Bay. The Nordic spa, has been designed to capitalize on the area’s natural beauty. Set amid a quiet forest, it is Canada’s second Le Scandinave Spa. Despite the word “spa” in the name, don’t expect pampering or coddling.
The staff recommend spending 12-15 minutes in a hot bath, steam or sauna room to open the pores and rid the body of toxins, followed by a cold plunge or icy shower to rinse away impurities and improve circulation. Finally, there should be 15 minutes in a relaxation solarium.” To deter guests who might be tempted to skip a step, a laminated map of the spa facility and outline of the suggested bathing sequence are provided at check-in. The largest outdoor Nordic bath in Canada, it offers over 25,000 sq. ft. of spa activity and boasts three hot baths (including a waterfall), a Norwegian-style indoor steam room, a Finnish sauna and three cold plunge pools (including an icy Nordic waterfall). Yoga and pilates classes are also available on a drop-in basis. It’s not for those in a hurry. The sequence, which should be repeated five times for optimal benefit, takes about 2.5 hours to complete.
